Re: Mudskipper paludarium- an alternative solution
Hi, there. I know, I'm still blaming myself for not showing the sitter the proper maintenance of the tank. I must say that she did excellent job with all the other tanks and the rest of the zoo. I don't have much new presentable shots for now. I'll get back in line a bit later. https://lh6.googleuse...

Re: Mudskipper paludarium- an alternative solution

Dosen't look like one can use an HOB, what I am used to, and how did you cycle it? established filter media from another tank or fishless ? I can imagine even a tiny bit of a...

Thank you, Sarge.

But we'll see. My hopes are high. Java moss and Riccia are doing fine, a couple species of Crypts are surviving, ...
